My First Movie: iTunes U & Pod/Video Casting for Beginners
Benefits of Screencasting Screencasting some of your lessons allows you to archive them for future use. It is easy to build up a library of content this way that you can simply access each year as long as the information is still current. For students screencasting and archiving lessons, either on a site like your own YouTube channel or iTunes U, allows you to flip the classroom. This simply means that students watch the lesson videos in their own time, at their own pace, and wherever they like. The benefit for them is that they can pause, rewind, or replay you as often as they need to in order to best understand the material. For you, flipping the classroom frees you up to work one-on-one with students, either to remediate things they didn’t get on their own, or to provide enrichment at the individual level.

Wifi and AirPlay for faculty using iPads
Starting Spring 2014 IT will have an unique WIFI channel for faculty who teach with their iPad and want the ability to mirror their iPad to the overhead while teaching. Faculty will be given access to the hidden WIFI channel which will allow the AirPlay protocol to work. If interested in using this in your classroom please email me. Chuck |

Work with RVC Eagle using iPad
One of the downsides to the iPad is the inability to view native flash websites like RVC Eagle. There are a few apps that allow you to view flash content. Photon and Puffin are the two I recommend. Both apps allow users to view flash video and flash content. Out of the two browser apps I highly recommend the Puffin App. in it's latest release Puffin fixed a bug that put a box over the message when replying to an email in RVCEagle. Puffin also fixed some crashing issues as well. Here is he link to buy puffin: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?mt=8 Chuck |
